But getting wrong no of days for month selection after adding select option

@jacob21

I think this code here doesn't make sense:

var nDays, oDaysSelLgth, opt, i = 1; 
nDays = numDays[oMonthSel[oMonthSel.selectedIndex].value]; 
if (nDays == 28 && oYearSel[oYearSel.selectedIndex].value % 4 == 0) 
++nDays;

The ++nDays? shouldn't be a i?

Here where do you see ++nDays? I only see i++ because this code here is to add up the days:

 if (nDays != oDaysSelLgth)
    { 
        if (nDays < oDaysSelLgth) 
            oDaysSel.length = nDays; 
        else for (i; i < nDays - oDaysSelLgth + 1; i++)
        { 
            opt = new Option(oDaysSelLgth + i, oDaysSelLgth + i); 
                    oDaysSel.options[oDaysSel.length] = opt;
        } 
    }
